look at it this way:
man wants an alloy frame, should he buy an alloy frame from (arguably) the leading bike manufacturer worldwide, with a proven design and excellent warranty?
or should he buy a budget frame bodged together with birdshit and chewing gum by some italians who needed to jump on the street fix bandwagon right quick?
ok, so it's a bit harsh on the EAI but you can see my point. it's not simply an alloy version of the bareknuckle, it has different geometry.
if it comes down to colour:
the brassknuckles come in nice plain colours, the twatsers certainly do not.
but, look at brett, 31trum and others..many miles covered on their langsters and never a groan.
from looking at pictures, it appears the EAI has slightly steeper head tube and seat tube angles, it also looks like it's got a higher BB, so more "tracky" geometry.
it doesn't mean one is better than the other, it depends on the riding that you do.
